Pernille

2025

Netflix series: Pernille is a frontline child welfare service caseworker and single parent, balancing the demands of her job with caring for her two teenage daughters, teenage nephew (due to the death of her sister), and an aging father.

Her professional role exposes her to vulnerable children—some neglected or abused—and she grapples with high-stakes decisions about child safety .

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
